Processor
The mainboard uses an AMD 462-pin Socket A that supports
133/166 MHz frontside bus (FSB).
Chipset
The SiS746 and SiS963/963L chipsets are based on an inno-
vative and scalable architecture with proven reliability and
performance. A few of the chipset's advanced features are:
•
Supports AMD Socket A CPU: 133/166 MHz
•
Synchronous/Asynchronous Host-t-DRAM timing:
133/200, 133/266, 133/400, 166/266, 166/333, 166/400
•
Supports 200/266/333/400 DDR SDRAM
•
Supports up to 2 unbuffered DIMM DDR333 or up to 3
unbuffered double-sided DIMM DDR266/200
•
AGP v3.0 Compliant
•
Bi-directional 16 bit data bus
•
1 GB/s performance in 133MHz x 4 mode
•
PCI 2.2 Specification Compliance
•
Integrated Multithreaded I/O Link Mastering with Read
Pipelined Streaming
•
Supports Enhanced Software and Automatic schemes to
access PHY registers
•
Supports Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133
•
USB v2.0 and Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI)
v1.0 compatible
Additional key features include support for six USB ports, Fast
Ethernet MAC controller, AC97 interface, IEEE 1394 host con-
troller
management, integrated DMA controller and keyboard control-
ler.
•
Supports DDR up to 200/266/333/400
Memory
SDRAM memory module
•
Accommodates three unbuffered 2.5V 184-pin slots
•
Each slot supports up to 1 GB with a total maximum
capacity of 3 GB
Graphics
The L7S7A2 includes an AGP slot that provides eight times
the bandwidth of the original AGP specification. The AGP 3.0
(8xAGP) offers a significant increase in performance along
with feature enhancements to AGP2.0. This interface repre-
sents the natural evolution from the existing AGP to meet the
ever-increasing demands placed on the graphic interfaces
within the workstation and desktop environments.
Audio
The AC' 97 Audio codec is compliant with the AC 97 2.2 speci-
fication that meets the PC2001 requirements and supports
S/PDIF In/Out. It also has a built-in buffer and internal PLL.
Features include support for analog switch for rear-out (share),
the line-in jack (share), center/bass (share), and MIC jack to
output 6 channels audio.
Note: Optional 4-channel audio controller.
Expansion
The mainboard comes with the following expansion options:
Options
•
Five 32-bit PCI slots
•
One AGP slot (supports 1.5V AGP Interface only)
•
A Communications Network Riser (CNR) slot (AC97 inter-
